Mobile Computing

Mobile computing is a vert interesting topic. I already had some general knowledge of mobile computing as I have been learning about this in my Bus Admin class which involved learning the components and characteristics of mobile computing. I find it very interesting  how mobile computing has effected our way of living and the impacts it has on our future.
When it comes to mobile computing, everyone can see how this dream has become reality; and continues to evolve into smaller and better, making reality even easier for all of us.The dream to get computers in very home and work environment became reality. As each year went by in the computing industry, smaller and better has been the dream and became reality for many. While things continued to evolve everyone wanted to see the laptop in the palm of our hands. At the same time the computer was becoming smaller, it opened the field of smaller and better cell phone; thus mating together the cell phone and hand held palm computer into the  smart-phones of today, which has opened the field of mobile computer as we know it today and what it is going to become in the future.
However mobile computing has had far-reaching effects on our social behavior and cultural progression. The ease with which they enable us to communicate with each other has led to a decrease in face-to-face meetings and real one-to-one physical human interaction. Those that grow up getting used to impersonal communication on their mobile phones can find themselves incapable of dealing with even simple day-to-day human interaction.

Cloud Computing Week 9- Part 2

I see cloud computing as software and hardware that is used a service over a network, for example the internet,-World Wide Web is a service over the internet and I believe this is an example that can be used to describe cloud computing. I like the idea of cloud computing because it provides infrastructure services, storage services and of course security service’s which is something I think that everyone wants because of information people can access over the web these days can be a little bit too much. Privacy is a concern for me and I’m sure is for most people especially businesses when your considering data, I don’t think too many companies would be happy if their data which they transfer or store on service online was exposed in some way or another.

https://twitter.com/SkySportsNews

The blog page I have chosen to discuss is related to my previous personal posts which is sports. Sky sports News is the biggest sporting news channel in Europe, It covers every sport in the world and has first insight to breaking news from anywhere around the world. I chose the twitter page because I use this everyday and I thought it would be best to write about something I am familiar with. It provides live blog tweets of everything that is going on during their TV operating hours and I never miss a thing. The best thing about it I have subscribed this twitter page to give me live updates on my phone so whenever there is a breaking headline, I will receive a message to inform me. Because Sky Sports News is not a TV channel in the US I find it great to have such services online so I can keep up to date with the latest news.

Social Media

Remember back in the day when we worked from 9-5, nights and weekends were reserved for friends and family, and never the twain shall meet? Now that an estimate 23% of American workers telecommute  many use online social networks as a way to stay connected to co-workers and colleagues. Those who are chained to a company desk often use (or sneak onto) Twitter or Facebook to stay in touch with friends outside of work.

It's possible that these social networking tools are just the beginning of something, that they could lead to ways of finding and interacting with one another we never imagined, but whatever happens, you can't dismiss these tools easily. They are taking us somewhere exciting, but we have to work out how we deal with the fading boundaries these tools have left in their wake and that means rewriting our social rules as we go along.

Social networking services expand the pool of people we have the opportunity to meet to near limitless possibilities. We're no longer restricted to or rely on people in our neighborhood, church, or workplace to provide the interaction we desire.

Of course, getting to know others online is not a new concept, it dates back to the earliest days of Bulletin Board Services (BBS), IRC, and CompuServe. The main differences now are the real-time ways we communicate via instant messaging, Facebook walls, and Twitter replies. It more closely mimics face-to-face conversations than interactions via email, forums, or message boards, but it also means there are a lot more opportunities for social gaffes and missteps.

Barclay's Premier League - week 8

After the international break, there is often a need to settle back into the accustomed pace of the league and current form becomes somewhat of an unreliable barometer in the appraisal of teams. This weekend offers some intriguing fixtures, none bigger than the London derby that will determine the true quality of the Chelsea team. Manchester United look to be the team that stands to gain the most from this weekend’s fixtures while a fiery Tyne-Side derby awaits on Sunday that could prove one of the more unpredictable games of the weekend


A Tyne Side derby teeming with significance, this fixture could represent a catalyst for either team in their relative campaigns. Sunderland have had quite a lackluster start to the season and will be hoping that Newcastle are still licking their wounds following their comprehensive loss to Manchester United. Both teams look in need of inspiration and this should reflect in a hard fought draw.

Information Resources - RSS

For This week,  my class assignment required me to learn about Aggregators and RSS. The following text is my interpretation for my assignment.

Google News: Latest news from around the glob https://news.google.com/news/

The information provided within this library is all up to date and is constantly being subscribed to. With me being a Google user and making it my home web browser page, it is easy for me to access Google news. Why I prefer this to others is the fact I can narrow my searches for example If I wanted to find out the latest football (soccer) stories from the UK, I don't have to sit and look through thousands of posts that covers the sport all around the globe, instead I can filter my search to the country that I want to find the information about. This is great for me and not just for sport but latest headline news and reading bloggers opinions on different topics is great.

If football (soccer) interests you, I am going to post a weekly blog about the English Premier League and what is going on looking into the weekend games.
